Diplo with Pirates

[TheHumanHydra]

Ok. Played the turn, by the way.

I sent this to the Pirates:

Hello, Pirates! Would you like to sign another NAP? Say, for another 30 turns, till t160?

Cheers!

Their reply:

M3:
We do not feel comfortable signing an NAP until T160; TEAM (our eastern neighbor) just contacted us asking for an NAP until that same date. Would T150 work for you?

The Pirates

Not sure why TEAM's NAP request has anything to do with ours, but if they only want it until T150 for now, that's fine with me.

[Lord Parkin]

It's because they want to stagger their NAP end dates so their neighbours don't have the opportunity to (legally) dogpile them all at once. After all, it's far easier to deal with one nation/front at a time than two (or more) attacking together. Just a security thing really.

I sent this reply:

Sure, that's fine. Sorry, we weren't aware of TEAM's NAP date with you.

From Pirates:

M3,
We propose an NAP extension until T170.

The Pirates

[HitAnyKey]

We can probably accept this. We're nearing T150 and there's no way we would be ready for any sort of war just 20-25 turns anyway, so I don't see any reason not to extend it this short of a time period. So THH if you agree, you can reply to them accepting it.

We accept!

What do you guys think of the war between Gillette and the Trolls?

[Lord Parkin]

From Pirates:

M3
We will be happy to see the Trolls slowed down, but it doesn't seem like Gillette is making much progress. We'll see when the power graph starts updating with giant battles. Any word from Tasunke/TEAM?

HAK, I think we should email TEAM directly to figure out where they stand.
